> But at that time in history the entire south was segregated. FDR was the closest thing we have had to a fascist president. If he wanted integration he could have made it happen, or at least started the ball rolling. But the Democrats were not about to have let that happen. It was under him that the minimum wage, the most racist labor law in existence, was created.

Actually Republicans of that day were much less racist than FDR and JFK:: FDR did lots of terrible things like Japanese internments and segregating the military. But at that time in history the entire south was segregated. And I can guarantee you the Republicans were not protesting that stuff. --------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm glad you're willing to forgive FDR for his sins because in your imagination Republicans were worse. I find it interesting that Democrats still have ways of denying minorities their rights as first class citizens. More recent examples: 1) Remember when CAA blacks and hispanics voted overwhelmingly against gay marriage and liberals arranged for a judge to overrule their vote? That was okay because it was progressive. 2) Hispanics don't use the term LatinX, so liberals impose it on them anyway: If they were more enlightened, they'd call themselves latinx.
